Mel C has given her view on comments made by her bandmate Geri Halliwell in 1996 in which she dubbed Margaret Thatcher “the first Spice Girl”.Halliwell told the Spectator 26 years ago: “We Spice Girls are true Thatcherites.

Thatcher was the first Spice Girl, the pioneer of our ideology – Girl Power.”However, Mel C has now denied that the whole band felt the same way as Halliwell about the divisive figure. “Abbbbbsolutely not!” Sporty Spice told the Independent. “Geri, in the past, was very vocal about her support for Margaret Thatcher.

I’m from Liverpool. It was a name that was not celebrated in that region.”She added: “They were never the thoughts or feelings that I shared.
